Lovely warm welcome from the host, was offered a room with a view over the valley, and a surpirse swimming pool. Slept well and comes with a good shower unit. I sat on the balcony with a cup of tea as the sun was rising... The location is quiet and helped with a few much needed good night's sleep.

Location is best suited for car owners not if you're on foot. You will need buses that run regularly, or expensive taxis that are readily available. The motel has a restaurant sadly under refurbishment, other options are a cafe behind the garage across the road, or a further walk 20mins to a small supermarket and shops. A small grudge the motel has no washing machine on site and nothing in easy reach that I could find.

Rooms have been renovated since our last stay which was a pleasant surprise. The beds are comfortable. The location was ideal for both visiting family and for its proximity to The Springs resort (we were attending a wedding there) The manageress was very obliging when we arrived before check-in time and allowed us access to our room. Parking space also provided. The pool is a bonus. Motel is not far from a shopping centre.

The bathroom has not been upgraded, however it was still adequate for our needs. Traffic noise noticeable at times but to be expected as situated on a busy road/intersection. The aircon dulls traffic noise so not too much of an issue.

The facilities were very attractive, clean and the staff very friendly. There are plenty of facilities outside, including a swimming pool, barbecue area, children's playground and sports areas. There's a good view towards the bay.

There is a lot of road noise. Sometimes there was the smell of cigarette smoke if we kept our outside door open. Cooking facilities are limited., suitable for short stays only I'd think. The venetian blinds didn't block out the bright lights outside very well at night. The bed was over-soft.

although right on main road to Gosford, once you closed the door, traffic noise was gone rooms comfortable, bathroom has had an upgrade since last visit... admittedly that was about 15 years ago..

restaurant being open. you have to cross over main road, past servo to get to shops. not really a bother in good weather but a cow in the wet; it is hard to navigate the traffic flows if driving

Upstairs and had get past another person sitting out on the narrow veranda. Great view. Fairly quiet. Tried to use the pool but it was locked. Didn’t know it had rained overnight. Needs some maintenance.

The location given on Maps was inaccurate and sent me around the corner where I was staring at bush. The entrance is very steep. One tradie Ute parked badly blocked the only exit overnight.

Surprisingly quiet, seeing as it was on a major road. The room was very clean. The fridge & microwave were clean, as was the crockery, etc. Very glad there was an aircon in the room. It was very cold when I was there.

The only criticism is the parking spaces. They need to be at a greater angle for ease of parking & leaving. Also, a sign should be put up to say "Nose in parking only". The fumes from a tail in car came into the room when they started up.

Had everything we needed. We don’t drive a hybrid or electric car but I was impressed that they had parking designated to them. Lovely pool and play area.

Parking was narrow and felt very tight. I drove a longer vehicle and parked half on the verandah so my bonnet wouldn’t be in the way of vehicles coming into the driveway.

Spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Presentation was first class and the staff very helpful and friendly. The rooms are well soundproofed - it sits on a busy road but no noise once you close the door.

Nothing - although a tip might be to park around the back - it's a little tight around the front.

Room was great. Comfy bed. Motel was right on the main drag...I liked I didn't have to go kms to get to it. Room was clean. Staff lovely.

The only thing I can think of was the room was light, not dark when I slept. The door was frosted glass and let all the highway lights in. It shone straight on to my door. Maybe need a curtain to go across glass door?

I can't fault Bella Vista. I know it's on a busy road so I know there is going to be traffic noise. The room is always clean and beds really comfortable with ample spare pillows. Great views of Gosford from top floor. Always feel safe while we stay. Great value for the money. Yes the rooms may be smaller than normal but for a stop over there all you need
